The Colby Free Press, Thomas County, Thursday, March 27, 1913 March 27, 1913
Big Tornado.
Word was flashed over the wire last Monday morning that the city of Omaha was
partly demolished by a terrific wind storm that swept over the city late Sunday
evening. The first reports are sent out that there was close to a thousand
killed and millions of property destroyed, but later reports in the big dailies
had the death list down to the death mark. Earl KENDALL who lives in that city,
telegraphed back to his relatives that their home had been destoryed by the
strom and they they had barely escaped with their lives. Although thier loss was
great they can certainly be thankful that it was no greater than it was.
